Rock me

Part 8

After the big decision we all walked back to the bus and were hanging out in the living room. The next stop was Nashville at Nissan Stadium. They had all of today off though, so the show wasn't until tomorrow evening.

I hear my phone ding and look down to read the message.

'Hey, are you alright you never showed last night.' - Sydney

I felt bad reading her text, if I hadn't left my phone at the gas station I would've texted her earlier. I quickly text back.

'Yeah, I'm sorry I should've texted you. I was just too tired and figured you should get your rest.'

With that I turned my phone off and turned my attention back to the boys. They were talking about all the bars we could go to in Nashville. I was 19, so i'd never been in a bar and have never been interested in a fake. I've drank a handful of times in college, but I'm still a lightweight.

Harry was sitting on the couch next to me and I think he could tell I was a little disconnected from the conversation.

"Are you alright." He whispered.

"Yeah, yeah I'm alright. Sydney just texted me and I had to lie a little, so I just feel bad." I whispered back.

He reached down and grabbed my knee squeezing it. I got tense, I appreciated the gesture. I just got nervous when he touches me.

"So Dylan why don't you tell us more about you, since you're living with us now." Liam says interrupting Harry and I's moment

"Oh sure, Im 19 and just finished my freshman year at college." I want sure what they wanted to know. Most adults in my life are always asking what I want to do with my future and my plan for life.

Harry pretended to yawn next to me.

"Shut up." I say hitting him

"Fine what do you guys want to know?"

"Should we play a game?" Louis asked.

"Like what? Truth or Dare? Niall asked back.

"Truth or Dare are we 5" Zayn said.

"We could play strip poker instead!" Niall said half joking.

"Alright calm down, Truth or Dare is fine." Harry said looking at Niall

"You start Dylan."

I never knew what to ask as a kid when I played. I'd much rather be asked something or it be other peoples turn.

"Uh." I looked around at each of the boys. Not sure who I should ask.

"Harry, Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Whats the most trouble you've gotten in at one of your shows?"

After I asked I saw all the boys look around at one another nervously. Did I ask a bad question? Was that too personal? I figured he'd have a funny story and it wasn't digging too deep.

"Let me think." Harry said pretending to ponder. "It was around the time we were all at least 18 and had been pranking each other. I decided to put vodka or tequila into each of the water bottles. Niall was the first one on stage to take a drink. He decided after a break between songs to make the rest of us boys have a contest to see who could drink a "water" bottle the fastest. That's when the rest of the boys found out it was not water. After that one of the boys kept encouraging different contest with the "water". We got quite sloppy by the end of it. Our management was pissed and know they freeze our water until 30 minutes up to the show."
